Flagstad

Description

This cute 2.5" heeled lace-up shoe was inspired by Kirsten Målfrid Flagstad. Flagstad was a Norwegian opera singer who is still regarded as the finest Wagnerian soprano to grace the Metropolitan, and was called by many critics as The Voice of the Century. With soft Niagara perforated leathers, soft rubber soles, and a leather wrapped heel, this shoe could possibly be The Shoe of the Century?

Love the look, love the quality. My ankles are too low for the shoe - ouchy rubbing at the bottom of my ankle bone. I've put an insole to lift up my foot a bit (but now the toe is too snug). Still, I'm going to keep them on and let them stretch, I hope.

Just bought the greenish ones on sale. They are really really comfortable and now I want the black ones too.

So happy I got these!

Jess - East Windsor, NJ

I've only used this website to buy my "pretties" but did some research and you can find these beauties on other websites that offer free shipping...and discounted prices. Nothing wrong with that! I love these shoes! They were marked 6.5 W, and I do have somewhat of a wide foot, but all my Fluevogs are 6.5. I feel they are generously sized, the heel is very comfortable, and the leather and craftsmanship is amazing. The brown is no longer available, but I got my pair! I've been wanting them for a while and when I saw them on, I knew I got a great deal. :-D

Elation

SkyeF - Melbourne, Australia

Holy beans. Straight out of the box and onto my feet, 14 hours later and still going strong. Probably the comfiest, grooviest winter work shoes I own. Loving the extra laces too.

I have the olive and the dark green in the pattern is more of a teal and works fabulously. These babies are going to be worn to death.

These might be my new favorites.

I've been lusting after these for some time and lucked into a pair in my size on eBay. They're comfortable, stable, and absolutely gorgeous! I get stopped on the street by strangers when I wear these, and even my local cobbler came out from behind the counter to admire them when I stopped in there for more shoe-protecting spray. I wear a 9.5 in most shoes that are roughly ankle-height and higher, and these are no exception. For comparison I also take a 9.5 in my mini sugars and lovers.

Happy Feet from Aus

Anne Cheng - Perth

I am a Cdn living in Perth, Aus so was totally over the moon when I knew I was having dinner nearby the Queen St store during my recent stay in Cda!! I even managed to buy a pair of these in brown (on sale no less) ,-) and wore them the next day with ease. They are so comfortable! This is my second pair of JFs and I can't wait for my next visit.

Perfect Shoe.

Christine - Vancouver, BC

These are the most versatile shoes I have ever worn (this says something because I am known to wear tons of shoes). I own them in black, they fit true to size and they go with everything from a cute hip cocktail dress to jeans and a tee!

squeak

Donna - Poco, BC

looking for some help....I have the Operetta Flagstad's and love them! they are so comfortable and I can wear them all day....however they have developed an annoying squeak across the top of the foot....any help in how to get rid of that??? please!! (:`(

Like... magic... !

Mandy - Rhode Island (visiting Boston store)

Had been "stalking" these for the longest time online... and the green sadly started to disappear before I got up the funding for them...

Hubby and I just moved to New England, and so we walked into the Boston store just to say hi and browse (it's our favorite Fluevog store!). Miss Ali (<3 you!) magically pulled these beauties from the back as a recommendation, in my size, and totally unprompted by me - and the green wasn't even on display in the store! (HOW do you read my mind like that???)

Went up a half size in these from my regular size (6 to a 6.5) - they feel a little bit smaller and will accomodate a sock nicely. I always say, never wear shoes you can't run in - and these fit the bill for a marathon day just fine! The green and teal is a rockin color combo, and I have very happy feet! @>-

Robin - Seattle

Just want to say I LOVE these shoes as much as, if not more than, my other Fluevogs! They are too adorable and soooo comfy! I ordered the burgundy on clearance. As always the size is consistent-in Fluevog I wear 11.5, in all others 11. These are my new autumn shoes! Keep on doing what you're doing! P-)

Mel - Milwaukee, WI

This summer I had an epic event. I finally was able to visit an actual Fluevog store! I visited the Chicago location and the staff was wonderful and attentive. I tried on several pairs of shoes that I had my eye on for a while. These were the winners. I got the green and blue ones and not just because they matched perfectly with what I was wearing. ,-) When I slipped them on my feet, there was a moment of clarity. THIS is how a shoe should feel. It melded to my foot like it was custom-made just for me. Now I am not a heel person, but these felt very natural on me and they are very stable. I can't say I could stand for several hours in them, but they remained comfortable for quite a while. This is probably just cause I'm used to being a flat-footer. The more I wear these, the more I like them. They are a solid beautiful well-made shoe. Definitely a classic, and the color is unusual enough to stand out without being distracting. Thanks, John!

Erica - McLean, VA

I've wanted a pair of Fluevogs for forever so as a college grad present my cousin bought me these in green. They are so unbelievably comfortable! I was worried they'd be tight on my wide feet, but they fit wonderfully. They were a little snug on my obnoxiously bigger left foot but have already begun stretching to fit. They are so adorable and perfect all the way down to the soles (I'm a music major so the music notes make me ridiculously giddy). The only bad part is now I want to own more!

love vogs

judy - tx

i just discovered vogs and these are my 8th pair got the green so CUTE going back for the black got size 6 which is my usual size please bring more colors

Are you a Fluevog person, or not?

Heather - Madison, WI

I ordered these somewhat hoping I'd hate them. I wanted to be able to send them back and dismiss my obsession with Fluevogs. However, I have foiled myself. These shoes are beautiful, and they fit like a glove. Now that they are in my possession, I cannot possibly let them go. Are they worth the money? I guess you are either a Fluevog person, or you are not. If you are, then you pay the price and you have a life-long pair of fantastic shoes. If you are not, you buy several pairs of another brand for the same price and cry because you don't have any Fluevogs. I can only say that to me, these shoes are worth every penny, and I'm confident they will last me well into old age. I will be one styling granny. Thanks, Fluevog.

Cool and Comfortable

Stephanie - Chicago

I needed a new pair of shoes for work and got these in black. I literally wear them five days a week (they stay under my desk) because they go with everything - skirts, dress pants, and jeans. I'm on my feet all day long and these are so comfortable I don't end up with tired, hurting feet at the end of the day. On top of that, I get a lot of compliments on them because they're so fabulous!

Thank you, Rebecca, in the Chicago store, for your help in obtaining them for me.

The fit is great - I normally wear a size 5 - 5.5, but the 6 is perfect. I only wish that other Vog styles aside from the Operetta fit me, but most of the others are too large.

Christmas Wishes

Evelyn - Downingtown, PA

I got them for christmas this year and I wore them all day!!! :-) They are sooooo comfy. It didn't even feel like I was wearing heels. I could wear these shoes for all eternity without complaint. John Fluevog, I simply love your shoes... @>-

Rachael - San Francisco

I went to the store looking for a dressy shoe. Then I saw these and it went something like this:

:-O :-o (:`( ,-> ,-)
And now they are mine... @>-

Operettas Flagstad

Mia Kitty - Washington, DC

LOVE my new Fluevogs! They are so incredibly comfy and make me smile. Therefore have been wearing them almost every day with everything. Very happy feet! I have lost track of how many Vogs I have now! And big hugs to the crew at the Boston store; always lovely and so helpful. Cheers!

Bought my second pair of these--the black ones this time. I couldn't resist. Who knew that I'd want my grandmother's shoes? But I do.

Nicola - Vancouver

I just got these yesterday, and they're wonderful! I wore them to work today and they were surprisingly comfy, with plenty of room for my toes. I wore them with jeans, but I find myself wanting to add a pencil skirt and put my hair up in a bun.

I also really appreciate that they came up to size 12. I never got to have cute shoes before I discovered Fluevogs, and now the world is my oyster.

Erica - Vancouver

I heart my latest pair. The green and teal is an awesome colour combo. So glad that it is fall, time to take these puppies for a walk.

Rachael - San Francisco

LOVE these shoes! I went in for dress shoes, but I couldn't resist these. I've gotten so many compliments already and I can wear them all day with no issues. I can't wait to wear them with a poofy skirt! ,-)
The guys at the SF store are AWESOME and a half!

Utilitarian Style

Lisa Strecker

Okay...when I saw these shoes at the shop in Bucktown, I thought Nanny McPhee/Sister Mary Therese in COLOR! I adore the fact that these shoes can meet every basic foot need & still ooze so much class. I've worn them 3x now, all heavy duty standing 6-10 hour day stints...and my feet may be tired, but they do not hurt from the shoes. Be sassy...get the blue & olive & rock that look with jeans!

My First....but not my last!

Donna - Port Coquitlam, BC

After hearing my daughter in law and her mom talking about Fluevogs for ages (and them buying some!!)....today was finally my first time in the store. The three of us had a girls day and did the MOV and saw the Fluevog exhibit - loved it...then onto Gastown to Fluevogs! Tried on a number of pairs of shoes but kept coming back to these! They are so comfortable! I wear a size 8 and have a wide foot...they fit perfectly. Needless to say I bought them and I wore them out of the store to dinner with the girls!
This might have been my first trip to a Fluevog store...but it will not be my last!

The perfect shoe

MaryB

These are absolutely beautiful in the blue and green--gorgeous and comfortable and make me feel like someone in a modernist novel. I bought half a size bigger and they fit perfectly. Many thanks to the helpful staff in Chicago who helped me figure out what size I needed.

Pure love

Megan - halifax

Bought these at the Toronto store and I love them. I got the green ones and they fit true to size. As usual, the staff were super helpful to me and my sister and helped us make fabulous purchases.
